Insect Oil-Derived Pet Foods

Hilucia Oil, developed by Innovafeed, represents a revolutionary advancement in the field of sustainable pet food formulations. Extracted from the larvae of Hermetia illucens, also known as the Black Soldier Fly, Hilucia Oil leverages the natural biological processes of these insects to create a highly nutritious and sustainable ingredient. Hermetia illucens larvae can convert low-grade plant-based waste into premium quality nutrients with remarkable efficiency, significantly reducing the overall environmental footprint of pet food production.

Innovafeed's dedication to sustainability is evident in their innovative production process known as "industrial symbiosis," where their facilities are co-located with suppliers of feedstock and energy. This collaboration minimizes environmental impact while maximizing output. Hilucia Oil has demonstrated considerably lower carbon emissions, making it a more eco-friendly option compared to traditional plant or animal-based oils. With its high nutritional value and lower carbon footprint, Hilucia Oil stands out as a key component in modern, sustainable pet food formulations aiming to reduce the ecological impact of the pet food industry.
